Just past Cleveland's southeast city line, Garfield Heights had 29,781 residents in 2020, 11,985 households and 13,179 housing units spread over three ZIP codes: 44105, 44125 and 44128. Nearly a third of households (30.3%) include children.
With a house that full, the garage door gets used constantly, and it tends to break at the worst time. We answer 24/7, and our nearby technicians are often at your door within 1 hour for broken springs, frayed cables, doors off track and openers that won't cooperate. We also sell and install new doors and openers.
A new steel door with a clean panel design and a good bottom seal solves a lot of water and draft problems in one go. For attached garages, an insulated door keeps the kitchen or family room next to it warmer. We install Wayne Dalton and Clopay doors made for your opening. Door replacement.
Pair it with a Genie or Chamberlain opener with a keypad, so kids can get in without a key. Opener installation.
Highland Park, built on a former landfill in the mid-2000s and revived after 2020, now holds new companies alongside the city's existing businesses. Warehouses and shops like these rely on sectional overhead doors. We fix them and their operators; see commercial door repair.
This land was once part of Newburgh Township. The Village of South Newburgh formed in 1907 and changed its name to Garfield Heights Village in 1919. It became Garfield Heights in 1930, once the population passed 5,000. The name comes from Garfield Park, which honors President James A. Garfield, who was born in nearby Orange Township.
Growth came in two waves. The count went from 2,530 in 1920 to 15,589 in 1930, then from 21,662 in 1950 to 38,455 in 1960 and 41,417 in 1970. Poles, Slovenes, Germans, Italians, Irish and African Americans all made their homes here, and a few percent of residents still speak Polish at home.
A house from the 1920s may have a detached garage at the back of the lot, while one from the 1950s or 1960s is more likely to have an attached one. Either way, much of the hardware is decades old. We see original tracks, mismatched springs and openers wired in long after the garage was built.
Garfield Heights sits at an official elevation of 955 feet, on ground that is anything but flat. Where a driveway slopes toward the garage, rain and melting snow run toward the door, soak the bottom seal and leave the lowest section wet for days.
Over time the bottom panel rusts or rots, the rollers and hinges at the base corrode, and the cables fray at their brackets. If you can see daylight under the door or rust along its lower edge, ask about a new seal and a full tune-up before the winter gets going.
The Dan Kostel Recreation Center on Turney Road, at the Civic Center complex, has an outdoor pool for summer and an indoor ice rink. Garfield Park Reservation, part of Cleveland Metroparks, is in the northeast corner along the Cleveland border, and 45 acres of the former Wargo Farms went to the Metroparks in 2023 for trails and green space.
The city school district runs three elementary schools, a middle school and Garfield Heights High School. Neighbors include Maple Heights, Valley View, Cuyahoga Heights and Cleveland.

Usually with a new bottom seal and, if needed, a threshold. If the bottom section is rusted or rotted, we’ll tell you whether it can be replaced alone.
Sometimes. It depends on whether the maker still produces that panel. If not, a new door is often the better value.
An opener needs an outlet near the ceiling. Once an electrician has run power out to the garage, we can install the opener, the wall button and the safety eyes in one visit.
All three: 44105, 44125 and 44128.
